*Candidates who do not have a United States- or Canada-based EWRI/ASCE host may submit a pre-application to identify possible hosts. Note that a United States- or Canada-based host is required for the fellowship to be awarded, and the submittal of the pre-application form does not guarantee that an appropriate host will be found.
** Candidates must also submit abstracts at the conference website (content.asce.org/conferences/ewri2010). Note that acceptance of the abstract to the conference does not guarantee that the applicant has been awarded a Fellowship.
